I'm wondering if this lacoste sleeveless polo is authentic. i got it from snooty fox(local resale kinda place) so i'm not sure whether it was from a boutique/ebay/etc.






I checked the lacoste sticky thread & the back of the button was the marble-y type, which was good i think.

i also have a real lacoste polo (green) to compare:



This one has an inside tag on the right, and the pink one that i'm wondering about has the inside tag on the left, so i dunno.

let me know what you all think. thank you!

i don't think so, the alligator is supposed to be a 3-d patch, not stitched in?

my lime green is authentic(ordered from neiman marcus) & the alligator seems to be stitched, just like this pink shirt.

i've seen both variations i think... and i think they were both authentic. i think the patch is used on the men's versions... not familiar with the female ones... (they use diferent sizing for women too) size 40 vs size 4

stupid lacoste... i'm no longer a fan of their polos.

bump.. still wondering, any help is very appreciated

for women the crocodile is supposed to be sewn in (unless its vintage) and for the men it is supposed to be patched on, and given by the sizes yours is a womens but you cannot tell authenticity by that alone, the look and feel of the fabric is he most important part, a real one should have a light waffle-y feel to the fabric, if you hold it up to the window you should be able to see clearly through it while the fake ones tend to feel more like ralph lauren polos or other brands' mesh fabric, lacoste's fabric is unique to it. but fakers have gotten so good that from pictures its almost impossible to tell.

Would someone who knows more about this care to send me a picture of a fake and authentic picture of Lacoste Polos for men and women???

TELL ME I WON'T

the picture of the green polo is authentic, but the pink is fake imo.

from my experience with lacoste polos.. the ones i've seen were all made in peru. to make it in france would be too expensive

some of the dress shirts and the occational polo are made in france
